Unpaid Overtime Attorneys Who Get Results

One of the largest sources of wage theft in the United States is from unpaid overtime. Employers who force employees to work off-the-clock, pay “comp time” instead of overtime wages, deduct time, or improperly pay workers are legally responsible for paying workers what they are owed.Unpaid overtime takes numerous forms. For example, many employers frequently misclassify employees as exempt from overtime by paying those employees a salary instead of an hourly rate. Employers may also improperly classify workers as independent contractors, when those workers are actually employees. Unpaid overtime may also include not being properly paid for meal and rest breaks or only marking down scheduled work hours on your timesheet despite arriving early and leaving late.Any time you are not paid the full amount you are owed for time worked under federal and state labor laws, you are owed back pay. Unfortunately, many employees don’t realize what they’re owed until they speak to an unpaid overtime attorney.

Fair Labor Standards Act Overtime Provisions

The FLSA is a federal law that governs minimum wage and overtime pay. Unless you are exempt from FLSA requirements, you are owed time-and-a-half for all hours you work over 40 in one week. Some states, including New York, require some workers to be paid overtime even if they are exempt under the FLSA.

The FLSA allows employees to recover double damages if the employee successfully demonstrates that he or she is owed unpaid overtime.
